Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil de fabrication et de détection de glace. L'invention concerne également un appareil et des procédés permettant de détecter le changement de phase d'une substance. Dans un mode de réalisation, un condensateur à effet de frange est placé à proximité d'une substance, telle que de l'eau, subissant un changement de phase, tel que le changement de phase de l'état liquide à l'état solide. Pendant ce changement, la constante diélectrique de la substance change, ce qui modifie le flux électrique entre des conducteurs du condensateur à effet de frange. L'invention concerne encore l'appareil et les procédés décrits ci-dessus, mettant en oeuvre un condensateur, mais pas un condensateur à effet de frange.
